Learn about our place in the cosmos by taking an interactive tour through a three-dimensional atlas of the known universe. Requests from the audience will be used to guide our voyage, as we explore the Solar System, pass into interstellar space, out away from our Milky Way Galaxy, and to the edge of the Big Bang itself. Come with your questions and requests as we explore and learn about the latest astronomical discoveries about our universe.
Register and join us for an out-of-this-world experience!
